C# E
A Cadillac drives down my street
C# E
A bead of sweat pouring slow down a 
palm line
C# E
I see a bumper sticker: a bearded 
man with a wanted sign
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
A myth we've made to scare our fears
 away
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
A slogan that we slap on all out 
misdirected hate
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
A muddy symbol meant to mitigate our
 pain
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
But it's really just a desert corpse
 we painted on a wall out in some 
cave
C# E C# E
Anyway, I don't know where he's 
gonna park that thing
C# E C# E

C# E
My neighborhood drunk's on line at 
the deli
C# E
With his shaky hands and his swollen
 face he waits for his coffee
Continues after the ad
C# E
He blacks out curbside every night, 
then every day crawls back towards 
Wall Street
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
So I don't see it like it's "us" and
 "them"
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
I just see everybody working for 
that same eternal weekend
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
Droning on and on and on and never 
doing what we've wanted
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
Heavy legs, two steps behind some 
forever-dangling carrot

C# E
And I'm tired of it
C# E
Well, who's to say that we can't 
just fucking change it?

C# A E
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
I know it seems dramatic but I treat
 it like a crisis
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
From the office to the coffin, all 
our time and talent wasted
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
And that weight against your throat,
 is that a noose dressed like a 
necklace?
Ab/C# A/C# B/C# C#
'Cause from here, I couldn't really 
tell the difference
C# E C# E
Either way I say let's not take any 
chances
C# E
'Cause I don't know where he's gonna
 park that thing
